Carters’ Long Forcing. Carters’ Red Elephant. 
A handsome long Carrot, with the same depth of colour and firmness of 
texture in its earliest stages as other Carrots possess in their later growths. 
The Garden says of Carters’ Long Forcing Carrot: “When it becomes 
hettei known it will be in considerable demand, as it commands great earliness, 
fine quality, and a desirable shape. Most of the early Carrots are of the Scarlet 
■?. rl ? ‘yP e - bul lbe above is more after the Intermediate class, and for that reason 
will he 111 favour on many gentlemen’s tables. It grows as quickly as the earliest 
varieties, and is a decided acquisition to those gardeners who are expected to supply 
long tender roots about the size of a rat’s tail for as long a season as possible.” 
Carters’ Long- Forcing Carrot. —“This forcing Carrot is one of the most 
distinct and valuable that we possess, and when better known it is sure to be 
extensively grown. It is tile quickest variety that I know of, and makes but very 
little top. and the quality is excellent. As a Carrot coming into use early in the 
year, and for exhibition, it is an acquisition.”—E. B., in Gardeners' Chronicle , 
July 16th, 1898. 
“One of the best I have ever seen, being clean and straight. Where good 
early Carrots arc required this is a great acquisition.”—G. H. M.
